  • Hi Am also looking for a recommended cleaner - so if anybody could message me details of tried and tested people! thanks very much
  • They did a wedding 'aftershow' type party at home for about 60 people.  They provided canapes and nibbles, wine, prosecco, glasses and staff for 3 or so hours and came back the next day to pick things up, but also cleared and recycled as they went. …
  • I used Feast in Muswell Hill this summer - they were brilliant.  Roger or Sam were amazingly helpful. 
  • thanks everybody!  It's  a Saturday and seemingly a very popular date with lots of venues, as suggested here, already booked up!  We're now probably having it at home ....  hmmm!

  • Thanks all, Yes I contacted the Canonbury but they didn't come back to me so will chase that one up, thanks for the council document, that's great. Keep um coming!

  • this sounds good!  am trying to find a website but no luck.  Is booking required from your experience, also is it a restaurant or a bar with food?  I always mean to venture over the hill more but so spoiled on SGR!
  • A fair few ... and what are pubs doing if one needs to escape these festive buntingtastic streets?!
  • thanks very much!

  • What a shame - I'm sory to hear your experience was the opposite to ours- we must have happened on it on a good night! That's very annoying and disappointing - bit nervous about trying it again now - sorry all!
  • Well perhaps Wahacca comparison was due to over enthusiastic Friday night alcohol consumption- and having a broken front door key so not able to leave the house - but without doubt better than most ‘high street’ type places!
  • Hi Bridget How much does she charge - approximately? Never had a cleaner but am tempted having recently moved into a house and finding the time is more and more difficult! Jamber
  • Hi Svet came to clean my windows a couple of weeks ago so let me just check i put the correct number previously - it's 0773 363 429 - he did mention he was going away for a couple of weeks at some stage so perhaps this is the case. good luck o…
  • I used Swift Removals very recently. They were great, wrapped and packed everything on the Thursday and moved us on the Friday - very impressive - contact numbers are: 020 8804 8025/01279 413492 mob;07793 65081
  • thanks a lot!

  • Hi I use a guy called Svet and his number is 07733 363429 - he's really nice, efficient and also does carpets too apparently!
  • We’re looking to do some work on our house and wonder if anyone else has used Pip or has any new recommendations for this type of thing. Need things doing like stripping wall paper, plastering, doing up floorboards and general decorating etc ...? …
  • thanks all .. shall get on the case. Had one quote and seems completely reasonably and not much in it from van hire and the cost of feeding and watering helpers after!!

  • Same here, can't drive and have quite a lot of stuff - so thought professionals would be the better option having putting friends through it a few times before!

  • This is very very exciting. Being a big fan of Burrito's my partner and I have often talk of this being the best option for the next addition to SGR when on route to upper street for a Burrito of a Saturday hangover! I like Wahacca's - especiall…
  • I've used D&D twice, first time was very good, but there was no chain and so the only time Malcolm was involved was to pick up the keys, second time there was an evergrowing chain and I could never get a straight answer out of Malcom during the …
  • I had an email from D&D resteraunts saying the Almeida is open for Christmas lunch - at some cost though!
  • I think it's 0207 263 5500 - was trying to find out the number and it's not listed yet but i remember looking at the top of the menu - could be wrong.
  • Went to Season this weekend and my overall thoughts are:- Decor really nice - but the aircon was so cold in there and we had to put on our jackets/coats for half the meal (I recall the one and only time I went when it was the South American place…
  • Went by last night and it looks a bit posh! Am intrigued now as to the type of food ... anybody got anymore clues - tried to see if there is a website but nothing obvious coming up.
  • Wow thank you Helicon - what a result!
  • Yes, and also in the evenings. Sitting outside with friends last night and they all commented on the frequency and loudness of the plane activity. Obviously it's holiday season but nevertheless this year seems full on (and the helicopters of late!)

  • Thank you everybody - quite interesting everybody's views and shall go for a walk around the area and got one viewing lined up so it will be good to see a property anyhow. Anymore feedback welcome!
  • Noramlly it's calling "Inspector Sams" (or Sands) and it's code for there's a fire alarm going off somewhere in the station - it is then often followed by an evacuation. It's always quite alarming though especially in the bigger stations and it's o…
  • Thanks Stu - so glad to have that mystery solved!!
